no more Cold_turkey

ok.
weaning quietly. gently. taking pill at night, so that the second day is not as bad as it was last time. i am starting to feel really, really warey of tomorrow and what my body is going to do.

i had a terrible day at work, so that adds to it.

so.

i am going to use this as a mood blog for a bit - according to good ol' crazy-meds, it's a good idea to keep a mood blog while going off pills in order to note if, and when, you become depressed again. and how, why, etc.

see, i know it's important to keep an eye on my moods. i have been trying to do that for the last two years, and they have been really regular. due to, you know, being regulated with medication. but i need to watch it, seriously. and clean. i want to work on being Cleaner around the house.

i am feeling really down right now though. from crap day at work. from attempting to 'own my failings and mistakes as a human being.' from the last year of therapy. from frustrations in my own lack of success. from frustration at that frustration. i know sucess is meaningless. i know that it won't make me happy, or fulfilled, or mean anything important to me at all. i just. wish i knew what i needed to do.

i am librarythinging to comfort myself. mostly from memory because i have the majority of my easy-to-catalogue books at my current house updated, and i am about 50% through my manual entries titles. so i am just trying to recall titles i have at my parents place. i feel a little embarrased by my vast wiccan collection... but i really should add that too. it's only fair. seriously, the level of peace i get from my virtual bookshelf is amusing. it calms me right down. and is easier to do than knit when my hands keep shaking.

i feel like a total fuck up right now. and i am working at mind-watching-the-mind as impartial observer.

oh well. at least my No Drinking thing is being strictly upheld, due to not wanting to touch my tentative sanity.

I think you've done enough owning of your mistakes and failures. We all make mistakes, and we all fail at the occasional task, relationship, what have you. But don't choose the time when you're going off your antidepressant and your boss is giving you a hard time for self-criticism!

You're a wonderful person. Considering what you've been through, it's amazing you turned out so well and well-adjusted (whatever that's worth, coming from me). Give yourself a break.
